just fenced off some of my yard to free range our chickens. I had been feeding them 24/7 access to layer pellets from feed store. that was getting expensive hence the reason i decided to free range. They now have all day access to our weed grass (st Augustine). Our winters don't really get too bitter here on the gulf as a matter of fact, our grass is still green. What is the consensus on supplemental feeding for free range chickens. If I want egg production, do I have to supplement with layer pellets during the winter or will grass and bugs still keep them laying? thanks
